The PICTORIAL A1 color graphic that you see is a design for a 5 acre piece of agricultural land
that can be transformed into a living landscaped community for 10 people. Each person gets 1/2
of an acre: 1/4 acre for crops; and 1/4 acre for living, recreational space or whatever.
This gives each person much more personal space than the average city dweller. What
I have done here is to devise a sample plan to show you what really living in such a
Garden of Eden community could be like.

The groups of circles of GREEN DOTS that you see in Pictorial A1 are orchards of various fruit
and nut trees. Each circle is a different type of tree. The size of each dot is not drawn
proportionately to scale, however the distances between the dots are drawn exactly to scale
using a geometry formula to get the spacing exactly right. These trees are named by their
corresponding lowercase letter of the alphabet in the FRUIT & NUT TREE CIRCLES link
HERE and to the left of the picture. There is more
information on the trees in the TABLE #6: Fruit & Nut Tree RIPENING
MONTHS link to the left of the picture, also. There is in-depth information on these
trees in:TABLE #7: Fruit & Nut TREES, 15 YEAR YIELD ESTIMATES.
The information is based on recommended planting distances taken from reliable sources, as noted
in these tables. TABLE #4: FRUIT & NUT TREE CIRCLES and
TABLE #5: FRUIT & NUT TREE CIRCLES (arranged by tree type)
also give other data on the fruit trees (like: yield, in pounds, per
tree; circle diameter; etcetera). Study these TABLES very carefully, as there is much information
shown there, and you'll probably be very lucky if you find this information anywhere else! It
took a lot longer than you might think to gather all this information together!

The trees used in this part of the plan would work in many areas of California and other areas of
the United States and the world. However, you should check with your local nursery for specific
varieties and data for your area. You could create your own information, and create a custom
design using your own favorite trees. After the firmaments1
are constructed everyone will be able to grow even tropical fruits all over the world.

Study TABLE #1 (shown below) to get a good idea of how much area is used for NON-CROP AREAS.
If you add up the square footage of all the structural items in one of the far right columns of
TABLE #1, you see that it comes to 48,322 square feet, or about 1.1 acres, which is about 22% of
the land. So that means that about 78% of the TOTAL land is left over for other purposes. So if we
use half of the land (50%) for growing crops, that leaves about 28% for other purposes, depending
on what the community wants to do.

TABLES #2 and #3 (slightly below TABLE #1) show us how the
acreage can be used for the crops and how the acreage is distributed among the various main
crop groups. Look at TABLE #8 and
TABLE #9 for more detailed information on sample
crop plans for specific: ONE-SEASON CROPS (vegetables, melons, grains, legumes); GRAPES;
HERBS; and BERRIES. These are designed from average yield data from reliable sources as noted there.
TABLE #10 gives grand total estimates for the 1st
year of crops and TABLE #11 gives grand total
estimates for the 15th year of crops.

We see from TABLE #1 above that there is about 1.109 ACRES OF
NON-CROP GROWING AREAS out of the whole 5 ACRES. So there is almost 4 ACRES of space that could
be used for CROP GROWING AREAS and other uses.

From TABLE #2, below, (the data for the first year of the community) we can do some arithmetic
and see that there are about 2.5 acres of crops (0.218 + 1.530 + 0.195 + 0.050 + 0.510 = 2.503
ACRES).

Similiarly, from TABLE #3, below, (the data for the fifteenth year of the community) we can do
some more arithmetic and we see that there are almost 2.5 acres of crops
(2.180 + 0.050 + 0.195 + 0.050 + 0.015 = 2.49 ACRES)

So if we calculate how much room we have left over from after the crop acerage is counted, from
the largest acerage, 2.503 acres, we see that we have 2.497 acres of non-crop space. From
TABLE #1, we have 1.109 acres we must use for other things, so doing the math, we have 1.388
acres remaining for whatever the community wishes. (math: 2.497 - 1.109 = 1.388)

According to TABLE #2 (the 1st YEAR data) the food output is 4.17 pounds per person per
day. TABLE #3's (15th YEAR DATA) food output is 7.37 pounds per person per day. If
you have ever calulated how many pounds of vegetarian food you eat every day, it is most
likely far less than these figures. However, it's better to err on the side
of caution, and plan to have more than you need, rather than come up short on food. You can
always give the extra food away, sell it,or as a last resort, compost it. However, we should
subtract 25% of the food output to allow for: seeds that don't germinate; animals eating the
seeds; bad seed; bad growing weather; etcetera. So with this figured in, there would be nearly
3.2 pounds of food per person per day per person (out of the 4.17 pounds calculated) and there's
over 5.5 pounds (out of the 7.37 pounds calculated). So now the crop output doesn't seem so
excessive, does it? That's still over 3 pounds to over5 pounds of food per day per
person! Most people are eating a lot if they eat 3 pounds of food per day!

Even so, the community may decide that these yields are insufficient. No problem. There is still
about 1.4 ACRES left over in this plan. That's plenty of space to grow more than enough extra food
to ensure that there is enough food for all!

In case you are wondering, the reason the ACREAGE for the fruit trees in TABLE #2 and TABLE #3
is so different is because while these fruit trees are young (the first few years) only about
10% of their acreage area is required for them, since the roots don't need much space at this
stage of their development. Also because the tree crops cast very little shade on other crops
when they're young, other one-season crops can be planted much closer to them, than when these
trees get older and you cannot plant other crops close to them or they will not receive
sufficient sunlight, due to the shade of these trees.

After the first year the 90% of open area (mostly the fruit & nut tree acreage) will begin to
shrink as the trees increase in size and yields, so the one season crops need to be scaled back
proportionately, as is shown in TABLE #2 below. Also reflected in the TABLES is that the GRAPES
will produce little or nothing the first year.

Also you might take note that some fruit trees live to be as much as 100 years old, while still
producing abundant fruit!

If you wanted to gradually become a fruitarian, what more gradual way is there
than this? It will take a few years for the fruit to multiply on the fruit trees, so meanwhile you
eat the "vegetable" crops that you want (and/or "small fruit" crops like: melons, strawberries,
cucumbers, etcetera). Then as the fruit trees gradually grow over the years, you will gradually,
naturally start to eat the more plentiful fruit from the trees, as they grow up. (By the way,
this is a plan that would accommodate all the foods in The Mucusless Diet Healing System.)

So now we see that we certainly do have plenty of room for high quality organic
food and recreation!

The 5 acre area here, shown in PICTORIAL A1, unfortunately would not have much
room for larger animals, like deer and mountain lions, although there could be places for wild
animals to habitate outside the 5-acre area. However, part of the Garden of Eden concept is
that by most humans living a Garden of Eden lifestyle, similar to this, much of the land that is
currently being used for livestock raising (which is half the land mass of the planet),
and some of the land being used for unnecessary industrial purposes, could be restored similar
to the wild condition that it once was. Then wildlife may be able to flourish once again on 80%
of the land on earth, leaving 10% for the Garden of Eden lifestyle and 10% for cities, as is
described in the What Is the Garden of Eden Project? paper.
